Okay, well, at least another year or so anyway. Rose Byrne got the gossip wheels spinning this week when MTV News quoted her as saying her friends had been auditioning for a long-discussed live-action Star Wars television series. But EW has confirmed with a Lucasfilm rep that a casting agent in Australia is "doing some preliminary ground work, but official casting will not start until the scripts are complete." At the earliest, the series would go into production in 2010, the rep added.

So, eh . . . it'll still be a while. I'm not really excited for it yet, so at least we've still got more Clone Wars to look forward to in the meantime.

2010 ain't that far away. With live-action, it won't take 18 months to produce a new episode, so they could film it and air it 2 months later, depending on whether Lucas can accept higher turnover or will throw a fit.

Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.

The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.

That depends on how effects-heavy they're going to have it, though. I doubt that much, but still, there's got to be ships and things.

The ships and stuff are pretty easy, they already have those renders ready to go. It's the digital sets that are going to slow the show down most, but I think ILM has the processing power to do something like that.
